WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he was not happy about a tentative immigration deal reached by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, but he did not anticipate another partial shutdown of the federal government.

“I don’t think you’re going to see another shutdown,” the Republican president told reporters at the White House.

Trump said he would have a meeting to discuss the congressional agreement reached late on Monday and still had to read through their proposal.
